The story: Dale DeGroff, aka King Cocktail, created this drink for JoAnn Boone, president and CEO of Rio San Antonio Cruises, during an auction at the San Antonio Cocktail Conference. The money benefited HeartGift San Antonio. Boone wanted a drink that was not sweet and that highlighted her favorite, tequila.

The twist: The drink is on the menu at Bohanan's Bar; it will also be served during February at bars across the country, including The Esquire Tavern and SoHo in San Antonio; Middlebranch, Milk & Honey, Employees Only and Clover Club in New York City; and Everleigh in Melbourne, Australia.
